deVere Group founder and CEO Nigel Green said: “Following an exhaustive fact-finding mission to find the most suitable jurisdiction for us to enter into the investment banking sector, we had Mauritius at the top of our wish list.
“Mauritius has a robust international reputation, which is based on good governance, pro-business policies, legal expertise and an educated, English and French-speaking population.”
deVere Investments will become a part of the group’s global business, Green added.
The move comes weeks after deVere Group forayed into the private banking sector by acquiring St Lucia-based Arton Bank.
